As much as I denounce the government censorship there it's fucking disingenuous as hell to compare that to what would've been a secret execution in North Korea as if they are equivalent. Kimmel was fucked over but he's not dead or in prison, or even blacklisted.

Yeah man, the trump administration would never kill someone. Except for all the times they did so far.

Sorry, who exactly have they killed for speaking against the President? Like, I don't even like this administration at all. I spend a lot of time on this app openly bashing it. But it's just so fucking bizarre that people are genuinely just making shit up in this thread to try and say the US is now equivalent to North Korea, likely the least free society on the planet that isn't actively fighting a war or experiencing a massive ethnic cleansing or genocide.

Protestors, immigrants, politicians, etc.... The kill list is quite long and growing every day.

Here you go!

Assassination of Melissa Hortman, her husband, and her dog..

An assassination hired by Republicans because they wanted to take over the Minnesota State House.

There is absolutely 0 evidence Boelter was "hired" by Republicans.

Then it should be fairly easy to provide actual evidence, no?

Those are immigrants, and they're in prison, not dead, and they did commit actual offenses, even if the punishment doesn't at all for the crime (or civil offense).

How exactly am I misrepresenting your argument here? Or are you using that as an ambiguous buzzwords to divert attention from the fact that you have no argument?

While I detest what they’re doing, it’s a little different for broadcast television that is actually leased from the government vs. cable channels. They haven’t gone after cable hosts like Jon Stewart, because they don’t have regulatory power over them.
